Kulbir Singh, a local, said, “GHSS Dalhori was upgraded from
high school level in the year 2017-18. From the present session, 2019, the 11th
class has also been started in the school.”

Other locals said, “More than 200 students are presently
enrolled in the school and the admission process for 11th class is going on.
There are expectations that the number of students in 11th class will be over
100.”

Lashing out at the concerned departments, the locals said,
“At present, the school building does not have a classroom. The building only
houses an office, a kitchen and two toilets.”

“What is ironical is the fact that the school building
sans classrooms. Five rooms were dismantled in March 2019 to construct a new
building under SMAGRA, but no work has started till date,” the locals
said, alleging that the Education department is showcasing callous approach.

They said that two classes, 9th and 10th, have been shifted
to four rooms of local Panchayat Ghar.

A teacher, while wishing anonymity, said that two classes
are being run from a Panchayat Ghar, one from school verandah and remaining
from the playground.

He further said, “At present, the school lacks lecturers.
Besides, five out of six posts of masters and several posts of teachers are
lying vacant. Sometimes, we are left with no other option than to ask our peons
to teach the students.”

Director School Education Jammu, Anuradha Gupta, said that
the Chief Education Officer, Rajouri, talked to the concerned Executive
Engineer who has informed that 10 rooms have been sanctioned under Samagra, but
could not be tendered as some change in plan is required.

“I will personally take up the matter and it will be
resolved,” she assured.
